A Sunset in Ireland - SEYMOUR HADEN

Medium: drypoint and etching

SEYMOUR HADENBritish, (1818-1910)

Drypoint and etching, 1863, Schneiderman 47 (XIII/XIV); edition unknown. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. Signed and dated in the plate, lower left. Signed in pencil, lower right. This is a fine impression of the penultimate state. The margins are full with a deckle edge on all sides. The condition is very good other than a little weakening along the plate mark at top. (This is due to the pressure of the plate against the paper when printed.) This iconic image is arguably the best known English landscape etching of the 19th century.
